SPECIAL ABILITIES

Grappling Tentacles (Ex)

A sand glutton can grapple separate targets with each of its four tentacles. When making a full attack, the sand glutton may use its tentacle attacks to renew any number of these grapples in addition to making up to two tentacle attacks on different ungrappled targets.

Subterranean Cover (Ex)

Sand gluttons’ long tentacles can attack from beneath the ground, maintaining cover from those on the surface while still being able to make melee attacks.

Sunder attempts against the sand glutton’s tentacles ignore this cover. A sand glutton has four tentacles each with 10 HP. Destroyed tentacles regenerate in 1d4 days.

ECOLOGY

Environment temperate or warm desert
Organization solitary, pair, or clutch (3–6)

Sand gluttons are opportunistic hunters which wait for prey to move within range of their grasping tentacles. They pull unsuspecting prey into their maws and then drag them underground to suffocate, where sand gluttons can feed on the body for days.
